Peterson Pipes Jekyll & Hyde (X105) Fishtail

The Billiard is the yardstick every other pipe is measured against — a straight, cylindrical bowl on a clean shank, all proportion and no fuss. In the X105, the shape reads as a comfortably mid-sized take on the form, here cast in Peterson’s split-personality Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde dress.

Half the stummel wears rough, blackened rustication and half a glassy, ruby-stained smooth briar, divided down the bowl in true Jekyll-and-Hyde fashion. A polished wide nickel band marks the shank, a crisp note of shine. A jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem finishes the pipe in classic Peterson form. A characterful, conversation-starting Peterson with genuine literary flair, well suited to anyone who values steady balance over flourish.
